This virus is a killer - every time I click a Google result it redirects me to an ad. It blocks Mbam from updating. It is unbelievably annoying and I start school tomorrow so I REALLY need a clean computer. Some removal instructions on a different website reccomended HijackThis, so I ran it and saved the log.

Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.

When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.

Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of these files, one at a time, and post it with your next reply.

====================Download the following GMER Rootkit Scanner from Here

Download the randomly named EXE file to your Desktop. Remember what its name is since it is randomly named.

Double click on the new random named exe file you downloaded and run it. If prompted about the Security Warning and Unknown Publisher go ahead and click on Run

It may take a minute to load and become available.

If it gives you a warning about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run a full scan...click on NO, then use the following settings for a more complete scan..

In the right panel, you will see several boxes that have been checked. Ensure the following are UNCHECKED

IAT/EAT

Drives/Partition other than Systemdrive (typically only C:\ should be checked)

Show All (don't miss this one)

Then click the Scan button & wait for it to finish.

Once done click on the [Save..] button, and in the File name area, type in "ark.txt" or it will save as a .log file which cannot be uploaded to your post.

Save it where you can easily find it, such as your desktop

**Caution** Rootkit scans often produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries

Click OK and quit the GMER program.

Note: On Firefox you need to go to Tools/Options/Main then under the Downloads section, click on Always ask me where to save files so that you can choose the name and where to save to, in this case your Desktop.

Post that log in your next reply.
